How to Find Your 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Towing Capacity

Your vehicle's maximum towing capacity is determined by several factors including engine size, transmission, drivetrain, and chassis design. The safest way to determine your exact towing capacity is to check your owner's manual or use our database below.

Key Factors Affecting Towing Capacity:

  • Engine Power: More powerful engines can typically tow heavier loads
  • Transmission: Vehicles with heavy-duty transmissions have higher capacities
  • Drivetrain: 4WD/AWD vehicles often have higher towing ratings
  • Axle Ratio: Higher numerical axle ratios increase towing capacity
  • Braking System: Vehicles with upgraded brakes can handle heavier loads
  • Cooling Systems: Additional cooling helps maintain performance when towing

Remember that towing capacity varies even within the same model year depending on trim level and optional equipment. Always verify your specific vehicle's rating before towing.

Understanding Towing Capacity Ratings

Towing capacity refers to the maximum weight your vehicle can safely tow. There are several important ratings to consider:

Key Towing Terms:

  • Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): The maximum total weight of your loaded vehicle
  • Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR): The maximum total weight of vehicle plus trailer
  • Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): The maximum weight each axle can support
  • Tongue Weight: The downward force exerted on the hitch by the trailer (typically 10-15% of total trailer weight)

Always ensure your trailer weight doesn't exceed your vehicle's maximum towing capacity and that you're using the proper towing equipment for your setup.
